Post Election Discussion & News

IMO, it is true that a lot of Trump supporters don't care a lot about his behavior, they care about his future results as President.

I support less than 5% of what the Obama administration accomplished (freeing up trade with Cuba and saving the US auto industry are the only plusses that stand out to me).
I and many, many others are ready to see some change implemented from a conservative, small govt, pro business, pro let the states decide type of government.

Half the country are indifferent or loves his twitter behavior. It's not like he is acting out of character.

Plus the more nonsense he creates with his tweets, the less we know about what is really going on behind the scenes (*cough...doing and accepting favors with high level diplomats to get his hotels built in countries that once gave him problems...cough*)

Trevor Noah brought up a really good point. No one really knows a thing about Trump's 600 businesses or any of this business dealings around the world. We don't even know if he paid taxes or not. But we sure know a lot about emails and more emails....that revealed nothing of importance...

I don't know how American voters want to fight corruption by having someone so secretive in the white house....everything is backwards..it's pretty amazing.

The man isn't even sworn in yet and people are worried about behind the scenes deals. It is absurd. Also, it is ironic that a Clinton supporter is groaning about behind the scenes deals.

If Trump's objective was about making deals to further his business ventures, he could have done that by contributing to campaigns for real politicians and avoid all of the headaches of getting into the game himself.

Racist White Woman Trump Rant in Chicago Store 11/23/16

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT5KrRGfJBI

Of course just going by the viral video above, the woman appears to be out of control. However, not sure why she is being labeled a racist for accusing two black women for discriminating against her. I didn't hear the N word. And IF what she says was true, perhaps she had reason to be irate. I personally can't pass judgment on this woman without seeing the store video of the initial exchange with the cashier. That of course may never surface.

I will say that I would have had a MAJOR problem with the woman that was obsessed with videotaping the entire thing AND further escalating it by putting her two cents in.

I used to be an avid couponer and have had a few disagreements with store employees that didn't know their own policies. Even have been accused of committing a crime with my coupon use, which of course resulted in an apology by the district manager because his employee didn't know what she was talking about. My point? Had there been a customer videotaping me and taunting me while I was arguing what I knew was correct, I probably would have gone off on her.

Not sure if the woman who videotaped is known, but I hope she is catching hell for standing there with her child WHILE suggesting that this customer is unstable. Yep, that is a good idea. Stand there with your child and videotape an unstable person when you could easily leave the situation.

No one should be that out of control in public over a whole lot of nothing. I would expect to be video taped if I yell a bunch of nonsense in front of strangers for 10-20 min straight. "And I voted for Trump so THERE!"....no idea why anyone would say that in an argument...was it to troll the black cashiers? Why would "voting for Trump" be of any use to troll someone? "You being a white lady, you literally think that's okay?" What does race have to do with any of this? How exactly did the cashiers discriminate against her?..like did they say "we don't serve your kind around here"...? Is this a Michaels that just serve blacks? Hard hitting questions.....

You can't get the answers to those questions from that video but yet you are still judging her.

Was she out of control? Yes. But was she provoked? We don't know.

And no comment about the woman putting her child in danger by videotaping an unstable person?

[StormRichards]

Singuy, do you ever gather your thoughts before typing and hitting submit? You sure edit and add a lot.

How can she possibility be discriminated by the black cashiers? Was it her skin color, gender, or sexual orientation? If it was her skin color or gender, then this is the only Michaels in the world that doesn't serve white female...so then I wonder how they are still in business since that is literally Michael's clientele.

Not judging her..just trying to see in which universe can a white female be discriminated against at a Michaels.

Since there was plenty of screaming and commotion, it is difficult to answer all of your questions. However, I will provide you with what I believe she is trying to say.

She took items to the register. A black cashier asked her if she wanted to buy a Michael's shopping bag. She responded that she just wanted a paper bag for her items. I am gathering that the tone from one or both of the parties involved was not very pleasant. The cashier allegedly made a comment that the customer must have voted for Trump, and walked away saying she wasn't going to wait on her. Then made a comment about her father dying or something. Not sure why that is relevant but she supposedly made some type of reference of that nature. When she walked away, the customer asked to speak to the manager. The manager, which I believe was black as well, apparently was unable to diffuse the situation. The customer felt that the manager should have apologized for the cashier screaming at her, but that apparently didn't take place. The fact that the cashier supposedly brought up Trump then refused to wait on her is why the customer felt discriminated against.

That is my best effort for figuring out what the customer believes to have occurred.

Did it? I have no idea.

If it did, I can see why she would feel discriminated against, having a black cashier refuse to wait on her because she voted for Trump.

And your last statement is pretty ignorant. Any person of any color can be discriminated against. Even white people. Even in a store that has white people as their number one customer.

[StormRichards]

Unreal. The attention seeking woman with the camera phone set up a GoFundMe page for one of the Michael's employees. I read the comments and happy to report that there are several others that think the GoFundMe page is ridiculous.

[Singuy]

The plot thickens!

Apparently this girl goes all over the place ranting at employees..lol

Also the women who did the video taping thought the black employees were the victims..started a gofundme for them and racked in 28k as of today!

[StormRichards]

Actually Singuy, the ridiculous GoFundMe page is almost up to $29k.

As for the story you posted, already saw it. And like the other, what caused the incident isn't shown. I wonder why.

[StormRichards]

There you go again clicking submit before you gathered your thoughts.

That woman created a FB page just to talk about this incident, and there are a TON of comments on the GFM page criticizing the stupid campaign.

And on the topic of racism, one comment suggested white people are contributing because of "white guilt" NICE!

[StormRichards]

Hopefully this will end some of the conflict of interest chatter

Trump plans December announcement on business handoff

[StormRichards]

The GoFundMe page for the Michael's manager is over $30k. Absurd.

If the customer wasn't provoked, she definitely needs help. Perhaps has a mental illness even if she was provoked.
